Baked Potato Microwave Bag~

Seriously this thing is my all time favorite.  Lately I’ve even been cooking sweet potatoes in it.

It works just the same if you are wondering about that.  Put a little bit of butter and salt and smush it up with a fork.

Perfect.

A couple of years ago there was a full tutorial with images on making a microwave potato bag, but putting it on video is better!

There is something wonderful about watching the process!

Plus, I had given my potato bag away to Jerika -the oldest and I needed a new one.

Materials Needed:

Baked Potato Microwave Bag Tutorial:

1)  Layer your three pieces -right sides facing and batting on the bottom

2)  Sew all the way around the pieces, leaving a 3 opening for turning

3)  Snip your corners to reduce bulk and turn right sides out

4)  Iron the edges and push the points out

5)  Sew all the way around the piece of fabric -close the opening with the stitching or by hand with the ladder stitch

6)  Over lap the ends and pin in place approx 2 overlap

7)  Flatten the bag, lining the overlap near the top of the bag

8)  Sew the sides directly on top of the stitching from step 5

• the best thing about the affordable wig shop near me is that with very little maintenance, you can easily style your wig and put it on your head without doing anything to your own natural hair bundles with closure.
